1. Do you have, oh my Master, a need
After fulfilling which this slave won't be seen?
١. هَل لَكَ يا مَولايَ في حاجَةٍ
لَستَ تُرى مِن بَعدِها عَبدي
2. It won't tire you out, nor make you bend
Out of embarrassment for it, or effort.
٢. ما تَكسِرُ التيهَ وَلا تَنثَني
في خَجلَةٍ مِنها وَلا جَهدِ
3. Nor would anger boil within doing it
Above your cheeks made of roses.
٣. وَلا يَغيضُ الغَيظُ في فِعلِها
ما فَوقَ خَدَّيكَ مِنَ الوَردِ
4. And if you wished, you could name it
Disobedience, though the matter is up to me.
٤. وَهيَ إِذا ما شِئتَ سَمَّيتَها
لِياطَةً وَالأَمرُ مِن عِندي
